The nightly rates at hotels near Walt Disney World will vary greatly depending upon many different factors: time of year you are traveling, time of week you are traveling, where you want to stay, and what amenities you want in your Orlando hotel.

Tips for getting the best nightly rate

Typically, the Kissimmee hotels are going to be a little cheaper than Lake Buena Vista and Downtown Disney hotels are usually more expensive than Lake Buena Vista properties. If you visit during the off season or shoulder season your rates will be much better than if you visit during high season. So when is high season? Anytime kids are out of school is considered high season such as Christmas, Spring Break, Easter, and Summertime. If you are going to visit a hotel near Disney during high season, if you can travel Sunday through Thursday you will find the nightly rates cheaper by as much as 25%. Orlando is quickly becoming a weekend destination city so Friday and Saturday nights are much more expensive than week day rates.

All the hotels near Disney World charge a nightly resort fee. These are fees usually paid by the guests at check-in that are over and above the nightly rate. These fees can range in price from $7 to over $50. Check the fine print when book your hotel room.
